Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Santiago Phelan has quit as the coach of Argentina's national rugby team, which just completed its second winless season in the four-nation Rugby Championship.
The Argentina Rugby Union announced the resignation on Monday but gave no reasons for his departure.
Argentina joined the Rugby Championship in 2012 and managed only a draw in six home-and-away matches against New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. This season the team lost all six matches, but went close to scoring upsets at home against No. 2-ranked South Africa and in Perth against Australia.
Argentina — known as the Pumas — is trying to upgrade its rugby profile but has struggled to compete consistently against three of the game's best national teams.
The Argentina Rugby Union was expected to name a replacement as soon as Tuesday.
